Arab League chief seconds Saudi Arabia's discontentment with UN

The Arab League's chief, Nabil al-Arabi, seconded Saudi Arabia's discontentment with the United Nation's policies in the Middle East by espousing his own contention that the organization has failed in the Middle East.

Many analysts of the region attribute recent Saudi anger to recent developments in the Middle Eastern region. Given the Saudis hawkishness on the situation in Syria they were extremely annoyed with the United States for not going through with its pledge to take military action against Assad last August after his regime gassed to death hundreds of people.

Furthermore the Saudi Kingdom, along with its Arab Persian Gulf allies, was also angered by Washington opening up lines of communication with the regime in Tehran which itself is a close ally, and supporter, of the Assad regime and a rival of these Arab Gulf states.
